fabricsbfrequently referred to as tape, and

has for its object to providea package of 5 tape having a'stiifening core and yet a pack-- age from which the tape may be continuously withdrawn.

Another object of this invention is to provide a relatively stiff package of'tapeor other strip material for easily handling which is folded instead of wound about the core.

Another object of this invention is to provide a package having an envelope, from which-the end of the material extends and 15 which material may: be drawn completely .from the package through an opening in the envelope through which said end extends.

-A further object of the invention is the provision of a package having a transparent .coveringthrough which the material-may be observed andyet protected, witha portion of the material extending through the package and along the outside of the package for more accurate color matching and direct observation as to the tekture'and quality offthe material. I

r A still further object N provision of a package the materialof which .maynot only be observed therethrough but also have a portion exposed for direct observationland color matching,which portion of the material may be grasped to draw addi-' tional material. from the package to'replacethe end originally exposed which may have become dirty, soiled or discolored. I 1 7 With these and other objects inview, the

invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fullyj1deL- scribed, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. In he accompanying drawing! l Fig. 1 is a plan View of the package with portions broken away, showing the different layers ofr'naterial throughoutthe' package.

I Fig. 5 is a perspective view ofthe material showing the same as folded about the corewith the folded ends in spaced relation.

It .has been found desirable in packaging textile fabrics topermit the fabric to be viewed through the package, such as provid-- ing the, same-of transparent material; and in addition thereto to provide a portion ofthe fabric extending outside of the package for I, direct inspection and color matching, andin addition it. is desirable tobe able to pull a covered and protected portion of the material from the-package should that portion which is originally on the outer surface: become soiled or changed inappearance, and I have 1 provided a'packagewhich accomplishes these desired results by folding'the material about,

a corein opposite directionsso that it may be pulled from the package through an opening therein without disturbing the envelope covering thesame and. the following is ade tailed description of the preferred means of accomplishing these desired results.

Referring to the drawing, 10 designates generally azsheet' ofstift material such as vcardboardg'or the like creased. as" atv 11 to providea' cover-12' to be folded-over thecore "131thereof. Alstrip of-tape or other-textile jmaterial 14 is folded back and forth on itself for, a plurality of layers to formfa pack,-and the foldedends of thispack are ithen [bent or folded about thecore 131 in opposite directionsto dispose the folds" .or' bights 15 on'the back of the c0rel3 with theendsgofjtlie. folds spaced asat l6. 1 In I order} to secure the tape thus arranged upon the c'or'e,"I fold the" cover 12 over the backof the core 13-against the folds or bights v 15, as illustrated in Fig. 5, after which'a band or wrapper 17 is wound about the textile material and core,-which maintainsthe material in the desired assembled position. The wrapper 17- is provided with anop'ening 18 through which the end 19 of thetextile material extends. v K There is also provided a Cellophane-or transparent envelope or covering 20 embracing the textile material, core and wrapper or band, which is also provided with an open- "ing 2lothrough which the endj19 of the Ina-- I i so 'core, a strip of textile material folded back ends in position.

terial also extends and which end is secured to the outer surface of the package or Cellophane envelope by a gummed'disk 22 which may have any suitable inscription thereon. Also a label 23 may be secured to the end of the strip, as illustrated in Fig. 1 for assistance in removing the sticker 22 when desired. V

I havelocated the openings 18 in the band 21 in the Cellophane envelope in registry at one side of the package, but these openings may be located in other positions laterally across the package when desired. By extending the end through the registering openings I not only provide means for advantageously matching the color and inspecting the strip but I also provide a construction by which the wrapper 17 is assisted in being held in place centrally of the package or in the desired position in which it is located. v By the construction-described I am also able to'use a-very-thin flimsy material such as Cellophane or the like to provide an envelope for the package and yet the same is maintained ina stiifened, desired form by the cardboard core about'which the material is arranged, the same being permitted to be withdrawn through the covering of the packand forth on itself for a plurality of layers to forn'ra pack, the ends of the pack being folded around the ends of the core and extendingtoward each other along the core.
